I hope that the scratches which this caused to the steel rims of the wheels hasn’t affected the value, but no-one so far has stumped up the £100,000 price (and it seems unlikely they ever will).
I also liked the two prints by Gordon Cheung entitled Tulipmania (sic) 7 and 8, which showed paintings of tulips against a backdrop of the stocks and shares pages of the FT. I’d happily own one of these, but wouldn’t fashion to pay the asking price of £1,440 for one of an edition of 20. Given the theme, it’s hard not to admire Cheung’s chutzpa in producing this series. Although only 7 and 8 are exhibited at the Royal Academy the full series is of 12 very similar prints. At £1,440 each that produces a total of £345,000 from a very simple idea- a return of which any stock market speculator would be proud.
